Climb into full secondary

By Susan Sandys

Ashburton Christian School will begin to become a full secondary school as early as next year.

Principal Tim Kuipers said initially following Ministry of Education approval for the school to extend to Year 13, it projected it would begin with Year 11s in 2022.

However, with an increased roll capacity also approved by the ministry, there was an unexpected

bump in the roll allowing for an additional teacher.

“That changed the formula and made it affordable,” Kuipers said.

“It was a staffing issue which made us delay, but the jump in roll was a little bit more than expected.”

The school’s roll has traditionally been capped at 120, but the maximum is now 250. The school’s roll is currently 130 and another 10 or so students are expected to

enrol by the end of the year.

Kuipers said planning was under way with staffing, curriculum and buildings for the move to full secondary. Currently the school takes new entrants to Year 10.

Kuipers said there were two classrooms coming sometime this year or early next year, which would be needed by the time the school introduces Year 12 in 2022.

The school was also designing a purpose-built facility, a project it

expected to get under way within three to five years, on a neighbouring block of land it had purchased.

The 1.3 hectare block takes the total grounds to 4.3 hectares, and allows room for the new secondary block, as well as a full-sized athletics track and school gymnasium when funds allow.

The school was developing personalised learning programmes, and the first Year 11 pupils would be sitting down with a careers ad-

visor and parents and teachers as they looked at what their future goals were.

“If they are not clear on these, it’s equally a good discussion, because we are talking then about – what are your gifts and talents?”

It was more than just career goals, in that such programmes focused on the question of how the student’s life could be a blessing, in both honouring God and serving others.

Ploughing matches return

By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Photographers and ploughing competitors came out in equal numbers at Murray and Gemma Redmond’s property on Sunday for Methven’s annual ploughing match.

Their Mt Hutt Station property was looking a picture due to dumped new snow on the surrounding mountains after the previous day’s southerly blast that saw the match put back a day.

Club secretary Sandy Redmond commented that the frost overnight had made the ground greasy in the morning, but when a brisk nor’west wind sprang up the ground dried out as the day went on.

Fourteen competitors from around Canterbury took part in four different classes.

The Norwood Hastings New Holland, vintage qualifying competition was taken out by R. Weavers with C. Boon in second place.

In the vintage open, E. Barnes was first with J. Stalker coming in second.

Ski area manager James McKenzie said at this stage the forecast was “a bit cold and snowy”, but it looked like the ski area would be “openable”. Saturday and Sunday looked like great weather days, he said.

Mt Hutt has announced it will now open five days a week in June, up from the three it initially committed to following lockdown, and has also announced it will upgrade early-bird mid-week season passes to full passes later in the season following the government’s Level 1 announcement.

It has had a great week of snowfalls and cold conditions for snowmaking.

Clydesdales move to the Hinds property of Ian Lowe to compete in the Hinds Ploughing Association competition.

The Warehouse Group is gearing up to cut its staff count by at least 1000 roles. The group is proposing to close six stores, in addition to three earlier announced, in its network resulting in up to 950 job losses and an additional 130 cuts from its head office. In a NZX announcement yesterday, the country’s largest listed retail company said it was moving to an agile business model, which would “likely see a reduction of around 100-130 roles” in its Northcote head office. The group has already commenced the consultation process for job cuts in its head office as it powers on with its plans to go agile from August 31. - NZME

Pressure rising One of the strongest high pressure systems on the planet is about to move over to New Zealand, bringing freezing temperatures that could plunge as low as -15°C in some parts of the south this weekend. The pattern is expected to coincide with another period of dry weather for Auckland – hardly welcome news for local droughthit farmers needing rain to battle back from a 240mm deficit. Niwa meteorologist Ben Noll said the approaching high also came nearly a year after a similarly dramatic system drifted over the country, which pushed air pressure to 1043.2 - NZME hectopascals (hPa).

■■FEEDING NEW ZEALAND FAMILIES

Meating a growing need

By Heather Chalmers

heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury farmer Mike Carr is one of the first in the district to donate livestock to a new charity Meat the Need, which is already benefiting Ashburton families struggling to make ends meet.

Meat packs from the charity have been distributed in Ashburton via community support groups, only a few weeks after a pilot was launched in April with a delivery to the Christchurch City Mission.

In Ashburton, the packs of mince were distributed by Presbyterian Support, the Salvation Army and Vincent de Paul, as well as Plunket. Packs were also distributed to Geraldine and Timaru.

Carr, a Mayfield mixed sheep and cropping farmer, said he had donated a lamb after hearing the charity discussed on the radio.

“I thought it was a really good idea.

“It was simple to donate. We let our Silver Fern Farms’ stock drafter know and he did it all for us.

“What I liked about it was that it was going to be mince that would be passed on to the people who need it. If you give a cash donation you never really know where that cash is going,” Carr said.

Created by Golden Bay dairy farmer Wayne Langford and former Mid Canterbury sharemilker Siobhan O’Malley, Meat the Need enables farmers to help feed New Zealand families who are struggling to make ends meet, by providing a way for them to donate livestock. This was then processed by Silver Fern Farms and delivered to foodbanks. In the planning for over a year, the initiative was accelerated in response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

While there had been a need for a charity like this, to date there has been nothing to connect the dots between a willing farmer with the livestock and the community organisations with the demand in a regular, reliable

Last week the charity supplied meat packs to more than 50 different foodbanks in 37 different locations throughout the South Island, with moves to extend into the North Island this week.

Donations have exceeded 150 animals already.

“Farmers can donate a sheep, cattle, or deer animal, but the final product comes out as beef mince. It is not the actual animal that people donate, but a nominal animal. This gives us efficiencies in terms of processing.” Others can donate money towards a virtual sheep or cow, or a box of meat.

“There is no better connector than food,” Langford said.

Charity co-founder Siobhan O’Malley and her husband Christopher won the NZ Share Farmer of the Year at the NZ dairy awards while living in Mid Canterbury in 2017. Mid Canterbury director and dairy farmer Jessie Chan-Dorman is also a board member.

Darfield dairy farmer Daniel Schat said he had donated after “ending up with too many beef animals. At the moment it is difficult to get animals into the works anyway, so we thought why not help out the charity and do a good thing for people that need it.

“It is part of the farming community trying to help out where

it can,” Schat said.

Silver Fern Farms’ head of communications and sustainability Justin Courtney said its involvement in Meat the Need was a direct response to calls from its farmers for a way to give back to their community.

“Silver Fern Farmers are proud of the role they play in producing food for our nation and the world and want to contribute to ensuring Kiwis don’t go hungry.

They want to know that all New Zealanders benefit from the fact that we produce large amounts a of the best red meat in the world right here,” Courtney said.

Farmers and the public can donate funds to Meat the Need through its website Meattheneed.org

■■AIRNZ

Falloon fumes over ticket credits Rangitata MP and National’s associate transport spokesperson Andrew Falloon says it should be customers receiving the sympathy, not Air New Zealand as they navigate the turbulent skies of customer refunds due to Covid-19.

The airline has been receiving a large amount of flak due to their decision to replace cancelled flights with credits for other flights instead of refunds due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The response of Minister Kris Faafoi to passengers’ pleas for refunds for their cancelled flights beggars belief,” he said.

“Tens of thousands of Kiwis have had flights cancelled and are seeking nothing more than their money back for the flights they can no longer take.

“For some, a credit for a future flight might be acceptable, but for many others their reasons for travel may no longer exist. That’s particularly the case for those with thousands of dollars in cancelled international flights, and no time frame for when they may be able to travel again.”

Falloon said countless other airlines around the world had offered full refunds rather than credits, and that Air New Zealand should be doing the same.

“Air New Zealand have been offered a $900 million loan facility by taxpayers, in other words, the very people who want their money back.

“By their own admission they could use that to ensure that everyone who seeks a refund is given one,” he said.

“Rather than calling for sympathy for the airline, Faafoi needs to have some sympathy for the passengers.”

It’s time to Unite for the recovery Thank you Aotearoa. We made it to Alert Level 1.

We united against COVID-19, and came through.

And now it’s time to unite for the recovery.

Four ways you can unite for the recovery Buy local

See NZ

Buying local is a great way you can do your bit to support nearby New Zealand businesses, and unite for the recovery.

We all love New Zealand. Now’s a great time to share that love by visiting the parts of the country you’ve never seen, near or far.

Every purchase you make puts money back in people’s pockets and helps get our communities humming again.

Buy NZ-made goods Buying products that have been manufactured in NZ feels great. It’s a chance to experience the quality, design and style that our goods are renowned for worldwide.

Put simply, buying NZ-made keeps money in the country and helps local businesses thrive.

It’s amazing what can be just around the corner in New Zealand – sometimes even only a few kilometres away.

And what could be better than getting away for a bit, getting to know our culture a little better, and helping local tourism businesses get back on their feet?

Continue to contact trace We should all continue to keep track of where we’ve been and who we’ve seen to assist with rapid contact tracing if it is required.

Businesses should help customers to keep track of where they’ve been by displaying the NZ COVID Tracer app QR code poster.

UniteForRecovery.govt.nz

What happens at Alert Level 1?

At Alert Level 1, everyone can return without restriction to work, school, sports, and domestic travel, and you can get together with as many people as you want.

Controls at the borders remain for those entering New Zealand, including health screening and testing for all arrivals, and mandatory 14 day managed quarantine or isolation.

As we unite to recover from the effects of COVID-19, it’s still important that we keep basic hygiene measures in place, including washing your hands, and coughing or sneezing into your elbow.

The Golden Rules of Alert Level 1 The COVID-19 pandemic still exists globally, even if it has been stamped out here in New Zealand. To keep COVID-19 at bay, we all need to keep practising great hygiene by following these Golden Rules: 1. If you’re sick, stay home. Don’t go to work or school. Don’t socialise.

2. If you have cold or flu symptoms call your doctor or Healthline and make sure you get tested.

3. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.

Wash your hands.

4. Sneeze and cough into your elbow, and regularly disinfect shared surfaces.

5. If you are told by health authorities to self-isolate you must do so immediately.

6. If you are concerned about your wellbeing, or have underlying health conditions, work with your GP to understand how best to stay healthy.

7. Keep track of where you’ve been and who you’ve seen to help contact tracing if needed. Use the NZ COVID Tracer app as a handy way of doing this.

8. Businesses should help people keep track of their movements by displaying the Ministry of Health QR Code for contact tracing.

9. Stay vigilant. There is still a global pandemic going on. People and businesses should be prepared to act fast to step up Alert Levels if we have to.

10. People will have had different experiences over the last couple of months. Whatever you’re feeling — it’s okay. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself.

All your support, in one place If you’re dealing with the fall-out from COVID-19, and need some help, visit UniteForRecovery.govt.nz now to get the support you need. You’ll find information about the funding, jobs and financial support available to see you through.

It’s everything that’s available to help Kiwis to get back on their feet and thriving again – all in one place.

The strength of our forebears

By Connor Lysaght

O

nce again I have found myself enthralled by tales of Ashburton’s past, as told by Alex Hewson in his 1918 reminisces, as well as Mary Anne Barker’s brief description of crossing the Ashburton River.

Early Days in the Ashburton County by Alex Hewson was first published as a series of Guardian articles in 1918, before being amalgamated into a booklet later that year.

The Ashburton Museum and Historical Society republished Hewson’s stories in 1996, and it is this booklet that has given me much food for thought over the past two weeks.

Last week we narrowly avoided being frozen solid, as we learned about the harshest winter Hewson had seen at Clent Hills in 1878.

To survive in this new land as an early European settler was to be resilient, in both body and mind.

The settlers who brought their way of life to the other side of the world endured many physical and mental challenges, and hardships, as described by Alex Hewson.

Ultramarathon man According to Hewson, Mount Peel Station was taken up first

by Tripp and Acland “in 1855 or 1856”.

The first house was built of cabbage trees stuck upright in the ground, and the cracks were filled up with clay.

The roof was thatched with snowgrass, and we can assume

that the state of the floor was far from satisfactory.

Drownings were common in early Ashburton County – a few years after the founding of Mount Peel Station a man named Clark drowned in the Rangitata at the Long Ford, and “about the same time a Mr. Findlay was drowned when swimming the river near the woolshed”.

One station man’s story sticks out to me as almost mythical – that of Andy the Black, a skilled tracker and runner at Mount Peel.

According to Hewson, Andy could “run a newly shorn merino wether down on the hills in less than an hour”, and could track down a mob of sheep based on where they had camped a few days before.

Once, Andy was sent to Christchurch with a letter of importance, and “leaving Mount Peel just as the sun rose, he made a bee-line for Christchurch, swam all the rivers, delivered his letter, got drunk and was in the lock-up before dark”.

His impressive feat of endurance is something to be marvelled at, as modern runners with extensive training can run 100km in under 10 hours.

If you are not an already established runner, estimates range between 12 and 15 hours to run that distance.

Andy could have made the trip by horse but this is not specified, and the claim that Andy “swam all the rivers” points to the possibility that he went on foot.

Wilkinson’s sheep after crossing the Rakaia River bridge, around 1876.

Shepherds at Mount Peel Station, 1902. Much progress had been made by this point, compared to the early days of the late 1850s.

Unfortunately for Andy, tragedy befell his family and in seeking revenge he met an early grave – “Andy was sent back to the Swan River, and hanged there for murdering a man who had shot Andy’s mother”.

Barker’s travels Station Life in New Zealand by Mary Anne Barker, also known as Lady Barker, is a fascinating read which offers a peek into early New Zealand life through the eyes of a well-to-do British traveller and settler.

After compiling this work from her letters home, she went on to write 21 more books throughout her life.

While visiting Christchurch in 1865, Barker describes the women there as possessing “an amount of useful practical knowledge which is quite astonishing”.

In contrast to her cushy life in Victorian England, Barker was thoroughly enjoying her new outdoorsy lifestyle in Canterbury after leaving Christchurch.

“It is delightful to wake up in

the morning with the sort of joyous light-heartedness which only young children have.”

Barker’s experiences in New Zealand were not all positive however, as she sadly lost her infant son in May 1866.

A bumpy ride Barker’s eighteenth letter, entitled A Journey Down South details her amusingly terrifying experience of crossing the Ashburton River, at the hands of her drunken driver “Jim”.

After having dinner at the inn they changed drivers on the banks of the Ashburton, and in regards to their new driver, they were told by their previous driver that “he handles the ribbings jest as well as when he’s had a drop too much as when he’s sober, which ain’t often, however”.

“When I saw our new charioteer emerge at last from the bar, looking only very jovial and tolerably steady as to gait, I thought perhaps my panic was premature.

But, oh, what a time I had of it for nine hours afterwards!”

As soon as Jim had mounted the carriage, with one crack of his whip he sent the party dashing down a steep cutting and into the Ashburton almost instantly.

Barker half expected that the carriage would break in two from the force which they were dragging across the boulders.

“The water flew in spray far over our heads, and the plunge wetted me as effectually as if I had fallen into the river.”

“We lurched like a boat in a heavy sea; the ‘insides’ screamed; Jim swore and yelled; the horses reared and plunged.”

Over the course of that leg of the trip, their driver took the opportunity to have a few more drinks, and according to Barker he became “extremely friendly with me, addressing me invariably as “my dear,” and offering to “treat me” at every inn from there to Timaru.”

If there is one thing to be learned from Barker, it’s that you should be careful who you drive with!

OUR VIEW

EDITOR

Big win for team of five million

T

here was something quite fitting about the day our independence was given back to us falling on the very same day that New Zealand could celebrate zero cases of Covid-19.

A double-edged sword of sorts, the only difference being both sides of the political fence were dealing in soft, feel-good blows as opposed to the usual razor sharp stuff we’ve been getting for the past few months.

Irrelevant of where you sit on that fence, it’s been quite an effort to get to this point.

Not just by those making the decisions though – because ultimately, that’s what they’re paid for – but by all of us.

We’ve taken the whole situation on the chin and done the best we could in order to try and preserve life amongst us, and in the large, it’s worked.

The impacts of those drastic measures are evident around us, for sure – but at least we can sit back in 10, 20 or even 50 years’ time and agree that it wasn’t a complete waste of time.

What we did actually made a difference to society in this country.

And now we can get out and celebrate it. We can head out and enjoy some of the more simpler, but finer, things in life, like not having to worry about how many people are following us into the pub on a Friday night, or being able to get excited about heading along to watch some live sport and cheer on our favourite teams.

Those little things we’ve missed. There’s an itch there that needs to be scratched and the moment of relief is fast approaching.

If you feel oddly strange about the fact that our country has managed to get on top of this disease that has crippled some parts of the world, don’t feel like you are alone.

We’ve dug the heels in as a collective country and delivered the best possible result we could, and it’s only natural that a sense of achievement should be floating around in the air.

YOUR VIEW Letters with Love I have a question for you.

We’re in Level 2 (which, by all accounts, we could manage to live in long term) and still waiting and expecting to go to Level 1, the question arises about “Utopia”.

As we sit here with our boarders closed and Covid-19 raging in many parts of the world, killing thousands upon thousands (and that is only the officially reported cases), we have to consider is New Zealand the new Shangri-La? Are we one of the seven wonders of the 21st Century?

Let’s keep our borders closed – we can live without overseas travel for a time, we also have so many of the features that the people travel to other countries to see.

Our mountains might not be the highest, our lakes and rivers might not be as iconic as some, our ski resorts might not be as up-market, our buildings not as old or glorious, and our food might not be “Michelin Star” but we do rate pretty highly all round.

So let’s be grateful that we have “won the lottery” and ended up here, and be proud of ourselves and our forebears for having the foresight to choose Godzone as their new homeland.

Let’s get out there and enjoy our lives and the freedoms in this modern Shangri-La. - Love Mother and Father

MARKET REPORT

By Guy Trafford Last week’s Global Trade auction barely rated a mention in the news.

This was due to a number of things. We are now ‘officially’ between seasons so less interest gets taken of the global price of dairy products.

Also, at a change of +0.1 per cent the price has barely shifted in its overall average. And the coverage of the protests in the USA, plus Covid-19, have been dominating the headlines.

However, despite the minor overall shift there were some interesting moves in the products New Zealand follows more closely.

Of the drops, cheddar cheese led the way with a reduction of 5.3 per cent.

Butter was not far behind falling 4.4 per cent and skim milk powder 0.5 per cent.

Happily, whole milk powder was positive with a lift of 2.1 per cent.

So, while the headline rate was fairly innocuous and given the global environment, the downsides could have been considerably worse.

The 2.1 per cent rise in WMP is quite a way ahead of the futures price which was down -1 per cent.

China along with the Middle East, Europe and South East Asia were all active. The biggest downside is the reminder that WMP, our main farmgate driver, is down 15 per cent below the year’s peak in January, and 9 per cent below the average of the past three years ($3040).

It’s early days for the new season ahead and, to date, nobody is making any rash predictions on the up side.

It’s probably naïve not to ex-

pect politics to have permeated most areas of life but it seems at the moment we are seeing a proliferation of their influences.

Both within New Zealand and abroad (of which a large portion we cannot escape importing).

Agricultural exports risks wax and wane along with the moon.

Back in January Trump had, surprisingly, managed to get some concession from China to rebalance some of the trade figures between the USA and China, by getting China to agree to import more agricultural products. This had the potential to spill over into our exports if China chose to buy USA rather than products from New Zealand, notably beef.

For the earlier part of the year, the greater volumes that flowed from the US to China were soybeans and corn, with pork also having a resurgence recently.

With the tiff China has been having with Australia, largely around arable crops but also beef, it was looking as though the USA would also benefit from Australia’s loss.

However, with Trump seeking to make political capital from China’s treatment of protesters in Hong Kong and the lack of diplomacy over where the coronavirus source is, cracks are appearing in the January agreement.

The volumes of what China agreed to purchase that came out of the January “phase 1 agreement” were always looking pretty aspirational rather than realistic.

The deal stipulated that Beijing would buy $US77 billion in additional goods and services in 2020 and US$123 billion in 2021 to meet the total $US200 billion.

China bought $186 billion of US goods and services in 2017.

Combined with the new incremental agreement, US exports

to China should in theory climb to $US263 billion in 2020 and US $309 billion in 2021.

Either amount would mark a record-breaking acceleration for American exports to China.

Of the above amounts, agricultural goods were to make up $US12.5 billion in 2020, $US19.5 billion in 2021. This is on the back of 2019 US farm exports to China being the lowest in years as a result of China’s retaliation against Trump’s tariffs on $US250 billion of Chinese goods.

Estimates of the 2019 farm exports are $US6.5 billion in fiscal 2019, which ends September 30.

That’s down from $US16.3 billion in fiscal 2018 and more than $US20 billion annually when Barack Obama was president.

So, the Phase 1 agreed amounts, while well up on 2019, were still considerably lower than previous years.

The word is that China Communist Party heads have been telling China’s companies not to buy American products and it appears that Brazil, for farm products anyway, has been the beneficiary.

Purchases from Brazil to China are up by 32 per cent on 2019 and China makes up over 40 per cent of total Brazilian exports.

Given that soy and fuel, which in the past most came from the USA, make up the bulk of Brazil’s exports it can be seen that China has indeed walked away from the Phase 1 deal.

Trump’s decision to remove Hong Kong of its special status since Beijing’s creation of a national security law is deemed an encroachment on Hong Kong’s separate legal system. This is not yet enacted but is on the books so is able to be done at any time.

China’s action is likely to be designed to put more pressure

on Trump’s support base.

Forbes have reported that “Phase two looks dead in the water”.

On the farm, the USA Dept of Agriculture has reported that while farm foreclosures have not increased they are expecting the rate of “delinquency loans“ (loans defaulted on) to increase.

This is due to a combination of poor commodity prices, trade disputes and the impact of coronavirus.

The amount of loans the USDA’s Farm Service Agency has lent to farmers was an eye watering $12.7 trillion dollars, and more than $639.4 billion of that amount was delinquent as of April 30.

The farmers affected by drought in New Zealand must wonder what has to happen in their sphere to get some real support from government. Given the roll-out of support funds for all sorts of other sectors in the name of keeping jobs and stimulating the economy I would have thought a good argument could have been made for at least the drought affected regions of Northland and Hawkes Bay. One thing farmers excel at is spending, it is in the nature of the business and the proof is the multitude of small towns etc that survive on farmer spending.

Perhaps the Minister of Primary Industries does not have much of a voice at the bargaining table when the cash is being dished out.

With over $200 million going to the arts and cultural sector, and I’m not arguing against that, you could be excused for thinking that some more could have been found for the export sector, or have I missed something.

Perhaps the M. bovis fund was it.

The markets Saleyards Sheep sales had the most movement last week with prices for all classes of animals increasing by several dollars per head.

This has been followed by positive movement on the schedules, although at a lesser rate.

Cattle at the saleyards experienced quite subdued demand with most categories reducing on a per kg basis.

However, as with the sheep, there was some positive movement on the schedule.

This probably indicates that there is not an abundance of cattle feed around for would-be store cattle purchasers.

Venison

Deer farmers have for the second week running seen a small improvement, although coming off a rock bottom price.

The issues of getting access into China seem to be resolved and the increase in schedule is likely due to the added demand coming into play.

Wool

Wool however, cannot make any such claim with what was thought to be a bottoming out last week managing to go subterranean.

Hopefully with Europe starting to show a little life there may be some demand starting to appear soon. India is likely to be longer before they are in a good position to make a difference.

Dairy As stated earlier dairy is now in a wait and watch stage. Although Fonterra’s share price made a modest lift of over 10c in the week.

A little bit of the luck of the Irish There was a distinctly Irish flavour to harness racing action at Addington Raceway on the weekend – a distinctly, Mid Canterbury Irish flavour too.

One of the district’s most prolific harness racing families, the O’Reillys, were on fire – led by the father-and-daughter combination of Rakaia’s Gerard and Sarah, who ran red hot across the two days of racing on Friday night and Sunday afternoon.

Over the 22 races at the two meetings, the pair drove in a combined 15 races, winning five and filling a minor placing on a further five occasions too, including a first – a father/daughter quinella on Friday night when Sarah was successful on Alta Endeavour and Gerard finished second with Laver.

Sarah added to the success tally with victory on Friday night on Striking Gladiator with Gerard as the trainer, and was then successful on in-form trotter, Sioux Princess for Mark Jones on Sunday.

Sioux Princess began her career with Lawrence McCormick, where she won on debut, before joining the Jones stable where she is now raced by Derek and Paul Newton, along with Jones where she has won a further four races – including her last two starts.

Gerard picked up two winners

great. The mobile is a big help for him. It is usually just the start that worries him, he can lose concentration.”

“But, after that he is usually really good.”

Gerard’s double took him to 13 wins for the season, but Sarah holds the bragging rights with 21 winners on the board.

Sarah’s win on Striking Gladiator for her father was double the cause to celebrate, as she also part-owns the son of Mach Three, along with the rest of The Clann Syndicate, which is made up of O’Reilly family members from across Mid Canterbury and further afield.

“He is just a really cool dude, he is very laidback and a really neat horse to do anything with,” Gerard said.

“It was a really good win,” Gerard told Harness Racing New Zealand following the win.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): When you get overwhelmed, take a step back and remind yourself that all these tasks represent agreements you made – agreements you can change, too. You’re in control here.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Your role is more convincingly executed when you’ve dressed the part. Why stop there? Do the movie version. And while you’re at it, add a soundtrack. Details like this make work fun.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You don’t know the answers, and you’re not in a rush to find out. So why are you so confident? Because confidence doesn’t come from knowing; it comes from being fine with wherever you are in the process.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Chaos, like organisation, isn’t inherently ugly, beautiful, wonderful or tyrannical. Accept whatever state that’s happening without too much judgment and subsequent decision-making will be easier.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You’re going for a certain outcome. This is one is important enough to devote yourself to completely. Whether you get there in five minutes or five hours is irrelevant. What matters is that you get there.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Knowledge is only power if it is applied in a powerful way. Don’t worry about obtaining more information today.

Keep track of what you know and figure out how to put that to good use.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Most arguments aren’t worth having, but a few are essential enough to dig your heels in and take a stand. You’ll know them when you seem. Let the rest go.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your passion is palpable.

After all, if you don’t make time to reach your goals, who else will? You care the most, and that sets a tone that the rest of the world will follow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’re not overly impressionable. Listening to other perspectives will only make you better. You don’t have to agree with opinions to be enriched by them.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There’s a time to spoil your loved ones silly and it’s not today. Pace your sweetness. As Euripides of ancient Greece said, “When love is in excess it brings a man no honour nor worthiness.”

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): This day will unfold like a good story, and you’ll have to follow along from beginning to end and everything in between to get the point. There’s a prize that goes to the best listener.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Act on your impulse to make a move. It’s the brave thing to do. If you wait, it will seem like you’re not interested.

Hesitation is bad for morale and diminishes excitement.

READ, Betty – It is with great sadness that our beautiful mother, Nana and great Nana passed away on June 7, 2020, at Rosebank Resthome, Ashburton, aged 93. Mum taught us by her great examples of kindness, graciousness, fun and love.

She dedicated her life to her adorable husband Ivan and her three blessed children Kay, Murray, and Graeme along with their special spouses Allan, Nicky, and Mary, 10 beautiful grandchildren, Justin, Hayden, Kieran, Karlie, Zak, Kim, Chelsea, Tristan, Alexandra, and Zoe, and 14 much loved great grandchildren. A special thank you to the fantastic staff at Rosebank Resthome who went over and beyond the call of duty to love and care for our darling Mum and to all who visited.

Who can find a virtuous woman?

She is worth far more than rubies.

A woman who faces the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31 Messages to the Read family, c/- PO Box 472, Ashburton 7740. The funeral service for our lovely Betty will be held at our Chapel, cnr East and Cox streets, Ashburton on FRIDAY, June 12, commencing at 11.00am.

Followed by private cremation at the Ashburton Crematorium.

Tourneys ruled out AshColl will not be participating in regional hockey tournaments during winter tournament week due to senior exams.

By Adam Burns

Secondary schools around the country are ploughing ahead with regional hockey tournaments later this year, however Ashburton College have pulled the pin.

Hockey New Zealand announced last week that it was hosting regional-based tournaments in lieu of abandoned national events.

However Ashburton College principal Ross Preece confirmed it would not be sending a team as it would clash with school exams.

Two South Island championship events are planned for winter tournament week

(August 31-September 4) to be held in Dunedin and Nelson.

“We are really excited that while tournaments will not look like they have traditionally in 2020 for our secondary school students, they have the opportunity to represent their schools in a way that ensures players’ safety and well-being is paramount,” a Hockey New Zealand spokesperson said.

The announcement had a mixed response from Hockey New Zealand followers on its Facebook page.

Some queried the timing of the tournaments ahead of exams and others questioned why national tournaments could

not go ahead amid a likely move to Alert Level 1.

Preece said the school had already decided that this year school exams were more important.

“Our senior students missed seven weeks of instruction/teaching and had varying levels of work completion during lockdown,” he said.

“Students in Years 11 and 12 have time on their side to catch up but the Year 13s do not.”

School exams were originally scheduled for the fifth week of term 3.

However, several faculties requested exams be pushed back to ensure all the ma-

terial was covered, Preece said.

A decision was made to move exam week by a fortnight following discussions between the school’s senior leadership team.

“All the major codes had already cancelled their national and South Island tournaments including netball, basketball, soccer and rugby,” Preece said.

“It is regrettable, but we feel that this extra time is vital especially for our Year 13s.”

Mount Hutt College have not had a hockey team for the past two years, however sports co-ordinator Latoya Keepa did not rule out teams in other codes participating in regional Aoraki tournaments later in the year.
